Represented
here is a little known aircraft flown by the Luftwaffe in the latter days of the
war. As the tide of war turned against them, they were desperate to try
anything. It is a proven fact that breakfast is the most important meal of
the day. So, the decision was made to disrupt the morning meals of the
Allied aircrew. It was hoped that this would degrade their performance
until lunch time. A single prototype was quickly built. During the
design stage, the thought process was to destroy the egg you must become the
egg. This resulted in the unusual shape of the FW Egg. No means were
spared to plot any and all egg producers. Numerous missions were flown and
many chickens gave their lives for the cause.

The
plan was ultimately scrapped when the Allied aircrews just simply started eating
something else for breakfast. The only known FW Egg is rumored to have
“cracked” up during a hard landing.

Shown
here are the crews on “Scramble” alert for any and all egg sightings.
This mission was not popular with the Luftwaffe aircrews.

This is
the Hasegawa Focke-Wulf FW190A egg plane kit. The base was made with
plaster over foam blocks, balsa wood, and WoodlandScenics landscaping materials.
The 1:48 scale aircrews are from DML/Dragon Luftwaffe day fighter ground crew
set. I had fun making this and thinking up a back story for it.
It’s a good thing we have silly week!
